Hi! If you’re new to my blog or just need a refresher on who’s who in my wacky life, this page will give you the scoop!
The Husband Dude: Pretty self explanatory.
He prefers I not use his real name. I’m not sure if he thinks we’re going to be stalked or if I’m just going to embarrass the shit out of him, but either way he will henceforth be known as The Husband Dude. And I already embarrass the shit out of him in real life, so…….
Ben: Ben is our oldest son. He is married and dad/stepdad to three girls and a boy. He’s married to our lovely daughter-in-law, Veronica.
Kim: Kim is our daughter. She’s married to our son-in-law, James, and together they have two daughters, Molly and Brooklin.
Shane: Shane is our youngest son and the only one grown in my baby holder. I’m only saying that because, as his mom, I feel like it’s my job to be as embarrassing as possible. And really, I excel at it.
Kova: Kova is our dog. She’s the elder of our household and has the best belly to be rubbed in the world. At least that’s what I tell her when I rub her belly.
Mr. Luna: Mr. Luna is our cat. He’s also kind of an asshole. But that’s normal for cats.
Cousin Judy: Judy is neither my cousin, nor female. We started out as coworkers and became good friends. We are “cousins” because he is from Louisiana and I am from Texas and after comparing families, we have determined that somewhere along the line, our family trees MUST share a branch somewhere. He calls himself Judy because he says every married woman needs a “Judy”, which in this case means a gay friend you can talk to about shopping, shoes, and Coach bags.
The BFFs: I have two sets of BFFs. One set are the ones I call The Lunch Bunch because we used to eat lunch together every day. I’ve known these two ladies for seventeen years and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without them. They are my advisors, my sisters, and my common sense.
The other set of BFFs I’ll call The Think Tank. They are scattered all over the country and as far away as Australia. I’ve never met any of them “in person”. I met the first one online at the same time I met The Husband Dude, almost nineteen years ago, and I’ve met the others, through her, online over the years. They’re a great group of ladies that just offer support and a fresh perspective when I need it. We’ve been through some real crap together. They’re the greatest!
The Cuzins: These are my actual cousins, and the only family I have left that haven’t passed away or quit speaking to me. These ladies are awesome and I’m sure at some point, I’ll have to share stories!
Taco Larry: He’s not really a “regular” character you’ll read about here, but I just love the nickname. It’s made all the better by the fact that he’s Shane’s doctor. He got the moniker from a toddler in his practice who would say his real name and it sounded like “Taco Larry”. Hilarious!
Satan’s Butthole: My former place of employment. Unless otherwise specified, all work-related satire, jokes, anecdotes or really rude comments pertain to this place.
The Rebound Job: The place I went to work after Satan’s Butthole. It only lasted a little over a year. Sorry, hon. It’s not you, it’s me. Just kidding. It’s you.
